Salmonella: From Basic Biology to Complex Pathogen-Host Interactions

Salmonella serovars are studied not only as important causes of disease, but the well-characterized biology, genetics and infection models of this group of bacteria have made Salmonella the pathogen of choice to interrogate many fundamental aspects of biology, including innate and adaptive immunity, post-transcriptional gene regulation, and the function of the gut microbiota. This GRC will encompass a broad range of topics related to Salmonella biology, from epidemiology and vaccines to cell biology and gene regulation. Attendees will include a combination of independent investigators at all stages, post-doctoral scholars, and graduate students. There will be nine sessions with session leaders that will provide an overview of the topic and stimulate discussion from the attendees. Time slots for short talks are reserved in thematic seminar sessions for presentations by early career scientists, giving them an opportunity to share their discoveries and gain exposure. These presentations will be selected from among abstracts submitted to the meeting, so participants interested in being considered for a short talk should submit an abstract by March 1, 2023.

This meeting is currently oversubscribed with a waitlist.
